News of the child's disappearance sparked nationwide concern this week, and made local and international headlines - after it was reported that two armed suspects had driven-off with a white Toyota Yaris belonging to Siwaphiwe's mother, Sibongile - with the infant still inside. The family - including an eight-year-old boy - were accosted outside a shopping centre in the Durban CBD - shortly after 11am on Friday.
On Saturday, police announced a R250 000 reward was being offered to anyone with information leading to the safe return of baby Siwaphiwe - and the arrest of her captors.
By yesterday afternoon, search efforts had been temporarily called off - due to police not having any further leads as to the whereabouts of the child or the abductors.
